All our work in the field, in the garden, in the city, in the home, in struggle, in government-to what does it all amount before God except child's play, by means of which God is pleased to give his gifts in the field, at home, and everywhere? These are the masks of our Lord God, behind which he wants to be hidden and to do all things.

It's not what I don't know that bothers me - it's what I do know and don't do!

Here I stand; I can do no other.

Whatever you love most, that is your god.

When God wants to speak and deal with us, he does not avail himself of an angel but of parents, or the pastor, or of our neighbor.

The devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God.

If God were willing to sell His grace, we would accept it more quickly and gladly than when He offers it for nothing.
